Double to String mask

[John Sitka]

32.0 transformed to 000000320000000000

I guess the above would be equivalent to an numeric(18,10) datatype
the first 8 digits represent the whole part of the double
the last 10 represent the decimal part

32.50 transformed to 000000325000000000

I can see building a method (example. DoubleMask(double <adouble>) )
that returns a string after using PadLeft PadRight. Is that a good way?

[John Sitka]

I did it like this, citique please
private string DoubleMask(double adbl)
{
string stradbl;
char achr = '0';
adbl = adbl * 10000000000;
stradbl = Convert.ToInt64(adbl).ToString().PadLeft(18,achr);
return stradbl;
}

How about:

private string DoubleMask(double adbl)
{
return (adbl * 10000000000).ToString("000000000000000000");
}

Thanks, that's better and works smarter.
